Lawmakers step in to help reopen closed railway

Roger Marshall tells Brownfield trains from Kansas are on hold until the passage reopens.

“Where do we store all of these soybean cakes? Where do we store all the excess wheat? Even though we harvested the wheat back in July, we store it at all of the co-ops and now, it’s going to be sitting there for weeks or months as far as we know,” he says.
